A WELSH MP wants the public to submit ideas for the World War I centenary commemorations.

Cynon Valley Labour MP Ann Clwyd has been appointed to an advisory group of senior figures chaired by Culture Secretary Maria Miller to look at government plans.

Prime Minister David Cameron has announced four series of programmes from the centenary of the outbreak of war in 2014 to Armistice Day in 2018.

Money has been earmarked for school visits to battlefields, and Lottery funds are available to conserve WWI heritage.

Ms Clwyd said: “Many projects are already under way, but the committee is keen to hear from anyone who has ideas about how best to commemorate this historic centenary.

“I hope we will be seeing school and community projects across the country. They can be linked to sport, art, literature, history – anything that brings us together or creates a valuable source of information and education.”
